If anyone was wondering the title is a quote from a supremely intelligent gent who goes by the name of Scroobius Pip. It’s part of a longer verse that I'll leave it to you to listen to – the track’s called ‘Waiting for the Beat to Kick In’ if you don’t know it.
Right now that’s explained I can get on with the real point of this blog, happiness. Yeah that’s right I’ve become a complete fucking lefty hippy type, but I honestly think it’s something that people often overlook and not in the way you might think.
We all have shit days right. Everyone has them, it’s a natural part of being part of our society. Anything can cause it, from just it being slightly gloomier than yesterday to an actual tragedy like missing Neighbours or something horrific like that. It gets you down – I just think I should say here I’m not talking serious shit here like death or illness or anything like that, just the occasional day where you feel a bit crap – and seems like it’s completely not your fault.
That may be the case but who is it happening to? Just because it’s cloudy or someone spoke to you with a bit of an uppity tone, in the end you can choose how these things really make you feel. You, not anyone else, you and only you have the power to change your mood. Now I’m not about to completely deny that someone making me a cup of tea (yes, I drink tea now, fucking weird isn’t it?) has the power to make my day, but that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make. You can decide that a cup of tea cheers you up but you can also decide that the simple and incredibly beautiful wonders of this life might just do the same. Everyone has their bad times but you also have so many of the good, why allow your life to be completely dictated by the little bad things that happen in a day? It’s far too short for that bollocks.
Thank you for putting up with this quite odd and out of character post. Normal lefty, hippie, socialist nonsensensical, foul-mouthed service will resume shortly.
